Chapter 212: Chapter 200: Out of the Wolf Pack, Into the Tiger’s Den_2

The tribal warrior babbled some words, and Septimius Coleman translated:

"He says his mission is complete and he wants to go back now."

However, Jason didn’t wait for Hans to decide and pulled out his gun, pointing it at the warrior, saying:

"Tell him, unless he can fly back now, he can’t leave! There are people following us, and he’ll run into them if he goes back. If he reveals our whereabouts, my men will die in vain!"

Sean thought what Jason said made sense.

The warrior tried to speak again, but Jason fired several shots at a tree, making deep holes in it!

The sound of the gunfire didn’t carry far, so they didn’t worry about others hearing it.

The warrior stopped requesting to go back and said something else instead.

According to Septimius, the warrior meant that if there were people following them, they definitely couldn’t escape the attack of the snakes.

However, the group didn’t trust him and continued to move forward until they entered a large area of flowers. Only then did Hans feel at ease.

But Sean’s heart was raised!

These flowers were man-eating flowers that were as tall as a person and whose buds were as big as a football!

When its petals opened, it could swallow a person’s head easily, right?

Sean saw a bird the size of an owl in the distance swallowed directly by one of these flowers!

This wasn’t one or two flowers, there must be thousands of them in sight!

Standing outside the man-eating flower territory, no one dared to go in.

Even the tribal warrior didn’t dare to move.

Hans was the first to step forward, saying:

"These flowers don’t move much during the day, especially at noon, because they need to avoid the sun. As long as you’re careful, you can get past them without a problem.

At any time other than noon, if there’s any ground vibration, you’ll be attacked!"

So, everyone waited outside and had lunch in the meantime.

Sean, Elijah Hastings, and Lincoln Harrington could chat quietly, while everyone else remained silent. Losing a person had a significant impact on them.

An hour later, at noon, Hans immediately declared:

"Let’s go!"

He took the lead in entering the territory of the man-eating flowers.

His footsteps were light, and when he passed by a man-eating flower at a distance of just a meter, the flower swayed slightly but hung its head and didn’t open its mouth.

It worked!

The others slowly followed.

Mila Ward, despite holding back her fear and walking in the middle of the group, couldn’t help but tremble.

If it weren’t for the mercenaries supporting her, she would have fallen to the ground!

In the man-eating flower territory, there were many small animal skins, bones, and severed limbs!

Sean and the others took it easy at the back of the group.

Unexpectedly, the area was vast, and after more than half an hour, they still didn’t see an end.

In addition, the further into the man-eating flower territory they went, the thicker the floral scent became.

This fragrance made their bodies feel somewhat weak.

Sean was the first to notice something wrong and shouted:

"Cover your noses! There’s something wrong with this smell!"

Upon his warning, the others also realized the problem.

But Hans couldn’t hold on any longer and collapsed, sitting on the ground.

Unfortunately for him, the spot where he sat had a sapling of a man-eating flower.

The bud of the sapling was only the size of a fist, but it was blocked by a larger flower above it, making it very active. After being stimulated, the bud opened, revealing serrated petals, and snapped at Hans’ leg!

Hans cried out, jumped up, and nearly pulled the small man-eating flower out of the ground!

The small flower wasn’t so stubborn, giving up its grip, but the bud shook, emitting a roar that humans couldn’t hear!

Then, Sean and the others found that the entire territory of man-eating flowers was in rebellion!

The countless flower buds opened their "mouths" wide, revealing serrated petals, stretching their necks and looking for prey in all directions!

If observed from a distance, watching one or two man-eating flowers could be quite interesting.

Sean knew that there were many videos on the Internet of people feeding insects or wasps to Venus flytraps.

This was quite similar to man-eating flowers.

But what if he were one of those wasps about to be eaten?

Now, with man-eating flowers all around, what should they do?

There’s no time to type and wait for answers online!

Sean Knight shouted to Jason:

"Carry Hans and Mila on your back! Push through!"

Elijah Hastings and Lincoln Harrington reacted quickly, pulling out their guns and charging forward!

As they confronted the wide-open mouths of the man-eating flowers, they shot them in the head!

With the corrosive liquid spraying out, the man-eating flowers collapsed, losing their ferocity!

However, bullets were limited, so after emptying their magazines, they drew short knives from their backpacks!

Sean followed behind them, taking out a sharp machete specially made for domestic use from his "backpack" and shouted:

"Elijah and Lincoln, keep going!"

Both Elijah and Lincoln glanced back, saw the knife in Sean’s hand, and gladly accepted it. They found it incredibly helpful in cutting down the man-eating flowers!

However, there were too many man-eating flowers, and the two could only charge through the areas with fewer flowers.

Sean suddenly shouted:

"To the left!"

"To the left-front!"

"Forward!"

His Sky Eye could see further, better detecting gaps between the man-eating flowers and hidden traps!

Elijah, who was leading the group, instinctively followed Sean’s directions, finding it much easier!

Jason and the others behind them didn’t have to worry about the man-eating flowers anymore, but carrying people and backpacks was still incredibly difficult!

The tribal warrior and Septimius Coleman were the most relaxed of the group, but their faces were still filled with worry.

The man-eating flower’s territory was a place they never wanted to enter. Now that they were trapped inside, even though they hadn’t been injured yet, the coming dangers seemed inevitable!

Fortunately, their thin and agile bodies, along with their years of experience in the jungle, allowed them to deal with the larger threatening man-eating flowers that Elijah and Lincoln had chopped down. As long as they moved quickly and didn’t get tangled up, they would be safe.

Up ahead, Elijah suddenly shouted:

"I see the boundary! We’re almost out!"

With this shout, the exhausted mercenaries, Hans, and Mila felt a surge of energy!

But Sean didn’t dare to slack off.

The fact that the two upfront could cut a path so quickly was due to his Sky Eye’s assistance, finding the safest path through the dangerous territory!

He felt the energy of his Sky Eye rapidly decreasing. It seemed to consume more energy in this place, and he didn’t know how much longer it could last!

They needed to get out quickly!

However, when one is anxious, accidents happen!

While black mercenary Wilson Johnson carried Hans forward, the two had managed to cut a wide path through the man-eating flowers that were about a meter wide or so!

However, a decapitated flower bud bounced on the ground, and while it still retained some activity, it happened to touch Wilson’s leg.

Then, the bud viciously bit onto Wilson’s leg like a face-hugger!

Wilson screamed in pain, thinking he had been caught by a living man-eating flower. He released Hans and tried to pull the flower petals off his leg.

Hans wasn’t prepared, and when Wilson released him, he fell.

An adjacent man-eating flower reached over and clamped onto one of Hans’s arms!

A cry of pain followed!

These two screams, one after another, caused chaos among the group!

Sean twisted around and saw the situation, cursing Wilson’s carelessness;

Even if his leg had been bitten, it wouldn’t have been an issue to endure the remaining distance of less than 100 meters!

He had thought Wilson was a battle-hardened veteran, but it turned out he was a careless rookie!

As he was about to turn back, Lincoln grabbed him:

"Boss, you keep moving forward with Elijah! It’s best to get out first! I’ll save the old man!"

After speaking, Lincoln quickly switched places with Sean and rushed forward, cutting down the man-eating flower that was biting Hans, then lifted Hans and charged ahead.

Wilson forcibly pulled off the flower petals, only to find that everyone had already passed him, leaving him behind!

He screamed:

"Don’t leave me!"

However, who could spare a thought for him at this point?
